WARNING

The voltage of the available power supply differs

according to country or region. Be sure that the

power supply voltage of the area where this unit

will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., 230V

or 120V) written on the rear panel.

D3-4-2-1-4_A_En

Before plugging in for the first time, read the following

section carefully.

DVR-230_YP.book Page 2 Monday, July 4, 2005 5:20 PM

VENTILATION CAUTION

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space

around the unit for ventilation to improve heat

radiation (at least 10 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and

10 cm at each side).

WARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for

ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the

product, and to protect it from overheating. To

prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be

blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers,

table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the

equipment on thick carpet or a bed.

D3-4-2-1-7b_A_En

This product is for general household purposes. Any failure

due to use for other than household purposes (such as long-

term use for business purposes in a restaurant or use in a

car or ship) and which requires repair will be charged for

even during the warranty period.

K041_En

CAUTION

The

STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not

completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.

Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect

device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from

the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,

make sure the unit has been installed so that the

power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC

outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,

the power cord should also be unplugged from the

AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time

(for example, when on vacation).

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the

plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power

cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a

short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a

piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the

cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other

cords. The power cords should be routed such that they

are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord

can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check

the power cord once in a while. When you find it

damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized

service center or your dealer for a replacement.

S002_En

If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC

outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed

and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and

mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of

this unit should be performed only by qualified

service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the

cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make

sure it is properly disposed of after removal.

The equipment should be disconnected by removing

the mains plug from the wall socket when left

unused for a long period of time (for example, when

on vacation).

Features

Progressive scan-compatible

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan

effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to

your TV or monitor. (Check your TV/monitor for

compatibility with this feature.)

Cinema surround sound in your home

Connect this recorder to a Dolby Digital and/or DTS-

compatible AV amp/receiver to enjoy full surround sound

effects from Dolby Digital and DTS DVD discs.

Program up to 32 timer recordings

You can program the recorder to record up to 32

programs, up to a month in advance, using the G-Code®

system*1 for easy programming if you want. As well as

single programs, you can specify daily or weekly

recordings, too.

*1 G-Code is a registered trademark of Gemstar

Development Corporation.

The G-Code system is manufactured under license

from Gemstar Development Corporation.

One Touch Recording

Use One Touch Recording to start recording immediately

in 30 minute blocks. Each time you press the

ì REC

button, the recording time is extended by another 30

minutes.

Optimized recording

Optimized recording adjusts the recording quality

automatically if a timer recording will not fit onto a disc

with the settings that you made. Note that the quality of

recordings may be reduced if a longer recording time is

used.

High quality 16-bit Linear PCM audio

When recording using the high quality setting (XP), the

audio is recorded in uncompressed 16-bit Linear PCM

format. This delivers great sounding audio to accompany

the high picture quality.

Find what you want to watch quickly and easily

Unlike video tape that needs to be wound to the correct

place, you can jump right to the part of a DVD disc that

you want to watch. Search for a point on a disc by title,

chapter or time.

Play Video mode recordings on a regular DVD

player

Discs recorded using the Video mode can be played back

on regular DVD players, including computer DVD drives

compatible with DVD-Video playback*2.

*2 `DVD-Video format' recording: The use of the DVD-

Video format for recording on DVD-R and DVD-RW discs

is referred to as recording in `Video mode' on Pioneer's

DVD recorders. Supporting playback of DVD-R / DVD-

RW discs is optional for manufacturers of DVD

playback equipment, and there is DVD playback

equipment that does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW discs

recorded in the DVD-Video format.

Note: `Finalization' is required.

MP3 file playback

This recorder can play MP3 audio files on CD-R, CD-RW

or CD-ROM discs (see Disc / content format playback

compatibility

on page 7).
